If you have a family member or loved one that has been arrested for DUI Manslaughter in St. Petersburg, Clearwater, or the surrounding areas of Pinellas County, we understand that it can seem overwhelming. Often times your loved one will be criticized on social media, you will worry about their future and emotional well-being, and you simply do not know where to begin.
The top-rated DUI Manslaughter Defense Lawyers at The Law Offices of Marc N. Pelletier have nearly forty-years combined experience handling these sensitive matters in our Pinellas County Justice System. We have combined this list of three things that you should do if your loved one has been charged with DUI Manslaughter:
Generally speaking, when someone is charged with a DUI Manslaughter offense, a bond is set that the person can post to get out of jail. When you call our office and speak with one of our lawyers, we can discuss what that bond amount is and how you can go about posting the bond. In some cases, we can help you find a bail bondsman if you are unable to post the entire bond up front. In other cases, we can schedule and set a Motion to Reduce Bond, to lower the amount of the bond that would need to be posted.
